Hire Service

Hiring equipment is a practical and cost effective way of making your flight more comfortable. Some equipment can be expensive to purchase for a single journey so at Tryb4ufly we hire equipment you can take on board.

How do I hire?

Download our hire form. Hire equipment is sent to any destination within the UK and with prior arrangement to other parts of the EU. We courier the items to you three days prior to your flight and arrange for collection shortly after your return. Items can also be collected from our Surrey Centre.

IMPORTANT: Always check with your airline when booking your flight to ensure they are aware of your requirements if using additional support for seating. This is important so that reservations teams are aware of your requirements and can book the appropriate seats for you.

People who use our hired equipment have travelled with Aer Lingus, Air France, BA, easyJet, Emirates, KLM, Lufthanse, Monarch, RyanAir, Thomas Cook and United Airlines to name a few.
